Bitcoin’s Make-or-Break Weekend: $100K or Collapse as Markets Hold Their Breath

Crypto traders are strapped in for a volatile weekend as Bitcoin teeters on the edge of either a historic breakout or a brutal rejection. All eyes are on the $100K psychological barrier—a line in the sand that could trigger either a FOMO-fueled rally or a ’sell-the-news’ bloodbath.

Technical indicators scream overbought, but since when has that stopped crypto? The usual Wall Street suits are already sharpening their ’I told you so’ remarks—just ignore their 2017-era ’bubble’ takes while they quietly rebalance into BTC ETFs.

One thing’s certain: leverage positions are stacked like dynamite. Whether this lights the rocket or blows up the sector depends entirely on whether Bitcoin can punch through resistance before Sunday’s close. No pressure.

Bullish Scenario: is $110,000 Next Stop?

The overall market sentiment around crypto has turned bullish now as the macro winds have been blowing in the favour of Bitcoin in the past week now. The U.S. President Trump’s crypto-friendly rhetoric – including hints of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and deregulation – has sparked a frenzy. Moreover, the SEC’s recent halt on crypto enforcement is icing on the cake with it signaling a green light for DeFi and institutional players. 

Ahead of the weekend, various analysts and traders are hyped about a thinning order book above $100,000. Beyond that, Bitcoin could be potentially running to $110k with a strong buying pressure. 

A clean push past $100,000 could unleash a FOMO-driven rally, with analysts eyeing a supply crunch as HODLers tighten their grip. 

The Bear Case: A Crash Waiting to Happen?

However, the bearish case is also looming around as several analysts warn that Bitcoin could tank 20% after hitting $100,000 due to over-leveraged futures positions. 

“The market’s levered to the max is flagging the risk of cascading liquidations,” says an analysts, adding “Technical analysis also sounds alarms with spotting a potential double-top forming NEAR $98,000. A rejection here could trigger a “lightning” drop to $90,000 or even $88,000, where liquidity pools await.”

With Bitcoin’s dominance at all-time highs, some predict a shift to altcoins like Solana or Ethereum, which could stall BTC’s rally. A broader market wobble – another tariff fear or a stock market dip – could also drag crypto into the red.

What to Watch This Weekend

With Bitcoin already at $95,000, this weekend’s price action is riding on a few make-or-break factors:

• ETF Momentum: As the institutional buying keeps outpacing profit-takers, another ETF inflow surge could propel BTC to $100,000 by Sunday.

• Whale Plays: On-chain data shows whales stacking sats, but a sudden dump could flip the market. 

• Key Levels: The $98,000-$100,000 zone is the battleground. A breakout above this could spark a moonshot while a rejection might send BTC reeling back to $92,000 before Monday. 

• Macro Triggers: Surprise news, probably from the president Trump, could be doubling down on crypto gains if the market swings hard.

Bitcoin’s flirtation with $100,000 is more than a price tag as it marks a psychological figure rather than being just a random number. A six-figure breakthrough could cement BTC as a must-have asset, pulling in pension funds and sovereign wealth but a crash could reignite skepticism.
